[Wikipedia] Limited Range: Ribes viburnifolium is native to the coast of Baja California and Southern California, from Smuggler's Canyon in the Tijuana Hills of San Diego County[7] to El Rosario in central Baja California.[8] The probable type locality is near Ensenada, from a 1882 collection by Marcus E. Jones.[9] R. viburnifolium is also present on several islands in the region, including Catalina Island and Todos Santos in the Southern California Bight, and Cedros Island farther to the south off of the Vizcaino Peninsula.[8] A persistent population from a planting exists in San Clemente Canyon, San Diego County.[10] (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
